Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 76

In a recent high priest group meeting, the teacher suggested that the term "First Vision" was inadequate , and called it the 'first contact.

I found it interesting that of the events the Prophet described in the "First Vision" seemed to be the same in the vision where the Prophet Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon experienced -

"...we beheld the glory of the Son, on the right hand of the Father, and received of his fullness..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 76:20)

"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
23 For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—"  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 76:22 - 23)

To me, it sounds much the same.
